Thermodynamic Investigation of Copper Binding to the Amyloid-Beta (A[beta]) Peptide
(East Carolina University, 2010)Alzheimer's disease is a fatal and neurodegenerative disease with as many as 5.3 million Americans living with the disease. One of the characteristic hallmarks of Alzheimer's is the amyloid plaques that build up around the ... -
Thermodynamic Investigations into Copper Binding in the N-Terminal Region of the Prion Protein at Low Copper Loadings
(East Carolina University, 2010)The prion protein (PrP) is a naturally occurring protein found at high levels in central nervous system (CNS). The misfolding of the PrP is responsible for neurodegenerative diseases called transmissible spongioform ... -
WATER-SOLUBLE FLUORESCENT PH SENSORS BASED ON A DIARYLACETYLENE SCAFFOLD
(East Carolina University, 2010)Intracellular pH plays an important role in many biological processes: receptor-mediated signal transduction, enzymatic activity, cell growth and death, ion transport and homeostasis, calcium regulation, endocytosis, ...
